Sometimes that still makes good publicity ... along the lines of the quote Alan likes: "If we want to make sure students learn math, we should make it illegal." or something like that.
"Secret" is somewhat like illegal. Maybe all your efforts & our efforts should be labeled secret.
Along the lines of having a big enough lever to move the world, he probably saw you pushing the board, saw the board, and the world. He just couldn't mentally see the fulcrum you are using... why open source, peer to peer, sharing big ideas in multimedia matters.
Cheers, Darius
P.S.
Perhaps VPRI could send a "letter to the editor" to follow-up the article, like a 1-2 punch. Repetition matters.
Don't forget to tell the editor the URL of your secret web page on your site specifically targeted for his/her readers.
P.P.S.
[You know .. the secret page about how all the students who have Squeak can already secretly create the Fibonacci sequence used in art, architecture, biology, physics, math, etc. without their teachers even knowing. And they don't even have to read any books about Da Vinci codes.
among other secrets ...]
